Just thought I should say hi to all the bandwagoners that decided to join us about 3 years down the road, I don't think I have seen most of you since 2005, might have seen some of you at the start of 2006 though. Anyways, make yourself at home... well until we lose twice in a row then I'm pretty sure you'll make your way out.

EDIT: I know I can't be the only one noticing all the new people.

Eh, Ive been a fan since 2001(year I started liking football) and that was a BAD year to become a fan of this team. Here I am still one of the biggest fans you will ever meet of the panthers. Seen plenty of ups and downs through the years, would never bail out on my panthers no matter how bad they get. Just because you haven't seen me on this site does not mean a da*n thing!

Some people who latch onto a team that's doing well do it because there's something about that team that draws them in. They might not have had a team before and might become a panthers fan for life. Good for them.

For anyone who feels holier than thou as far as bandwagoners - I submit this. EVERY single one of us hopped on the panthers bandwagon at one time or another - be it when they were a gleam in Jerry Richardson's eye, when it was announced we got the team, the first year we played, or whenever. I was a 49ers fan. I was a very early bandwagoner, but nonetheless, I was one.

Unless you've been here since the first game of the '95 season you were a bandwagon fan at one point, the Panthers fan base wouldn't grow without them, I personally did start really watching the Panthers until the '96 season, but I was also 10 at the time and the Panthers were my first Football team period that I have ever watched but I was still bandwagon.

As I said numerous amounts of times, I really really want to know why people bandwagon? HOW is it FUN AT ALL? The whole point of having a favorite team is to go through the good and the bad, and when good finnaly comes it makes it that much sweeter. Like we all endured the 2 horrid seasons 06 and 07 and now here in 08 we are flying high and it makes it soo much sweeter. If your a bandwagoner you just hop to the good team and you just say your a fan, inside it must not be all warm and fuzzy like it is for all us real fans.

you left off the biggest season that we had to suffer through the 2001 season(1-15) but then again are also 16 and probably don't remember it.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck.

      I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.

      That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
